From the President
By Nancy Weiner, Who is ready for spring weather?!? I know I am!! Before we look ahead to the NJLA Conference and warm (we hope!) ocean breezes in Long Branch, I do want to take a moment to reflect on another successful VALE Users’ Conference that was held on Friday, January 9th. The cold weather made for an interesting trip to Piscataway but it was well worth it to join nearly 300 librarians from around the state at the 16th Annual Conference. “On the Road to Excellence: Library Pathways to Student and Faculty Success” was the theme and the posters and programs featured during the conference were outstanding and reflected this theme. In addition to the poster and breakout sessions, a round of Lightning Talks was introduced this year, which were very well received. Our keynote speaker, Melissa Bowles-Terry, provided an engaging talk entitled “Library Impact on Student Success: How Do We Make a Difference?” that was both informative and thought provoking.
As the President of NJLA CUS/ACRL-NJ, I also serve as co-chair of the conference and I am pleased that my WP colleague and long-time co-chair, Richard Kearney, agreed to serve one last year. Richard’s hard work, attention to detail, planning and other behind the scene efforts are what make the conference a success year after year. Richard goes above and beyond planning the Conference and it was gratifying to see Richard surprised when VALE Executive Committee Chair Taras Pavlosky presented him with an appreciation plaque for his efforts in his last year as co-chair. A big thank you to all the members of the Conference Committee and special thanks to Judy Avrin for all that she does to make the conference a success.
The NJLA Conference Planning Committee has also been hard at work especially since the NJLA Conference is earlier than it has been the past three years. I hope that many of you will be joining us for the Conference that is scheduled for April 20th –April 22nd at the conveniently located and recently renovated Ocean Place Resort in Long Branch. The theme for this year’s conference is “Libraries on the Edge” and Rich Harwood and Jason Griffey are the featured keynote speakers.
The College and University Section is sponsoring or co-sponsoring 13 programs at the Conference, including one pre-conference, so be sure to check out the full schedule for details: http://njlaconference.info/schedule. Also, be sure to sign up for the College and University Luncheon on April 22nd where we will recognize the recipients of the Distinguished Service Award, the Research Award and the Technology Innovation Award. Dr. Edward Tenner, a noted speaker and writer on technology and culture, is the featured luncheon speaker and we look forward to hearing from him while enjoying lunch with colleagues. The early bird registration deadline for the conference is extended until April 10.
I would also like to note that while much of our time and effort is focused at the local level, being an active member of professional organizations does have its benefits and we can make a difference on the national level. The open letter drafted by members of the VALE Shared Information Literacy Committee and the NJLA/CUS/ACRL-NJ User Education Committee regarding the proposed Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education is one example of a local concern that garnered national attention. I would also like to congratulate New Jersey City University’s JP Porcaro for embracing the challenge of being a candidate for the 2016-2017 American Library Association Presidency. Voting opened on March 24 and runs until May 1, and we wish JP the best of luck in the election.
While it is a busy time of the semester, I hope to see many of you down the shore!
Nancy Weiner, President of NJLA CUS/ACRL-NJ, is Assistant Director, Access & Information Services at the David & Lorraine Cheng Library at William Paterson University of New Jersey.

She showed them her copyright and plagiarism LibGuides, went through the requirements of fair use, and how important it is to have a copyright policy for the district. After the formal presentation, there was a very lively discussion regarding several “situations” regarding copyright. One of the best questions was “How early can we start teaching this to the students?” Her reply was “As soon as they start creating or writing papers, start teaching them about plagiarism.”
She will present a poster at the NJLA conference on Tuesday April 21 (afternoon session) on her project "Jersey Devil Detectives" -- a partnership with the Lakewood Middle School. She will also be participating in a virtual panel discussion on "Successful Library Partnerships" at the NJLA Virtual Pre-conference on Monday, April 20 discussing the "Jersey Devil Detectives" project.

Meeting Your Social Media Needs!
By Katie Maricic Cohen
The NJLA CUS/ACRL-NJ Marketing and Communications Committee wants to spread our organization’s message in a way that will reach you- our ever loyal members- NJ academic librarians. Back in October, we asked you to tell us how you use social media. You responded and now we are planning to meet your needs!
Survey results showed that a lot of you would like to follow NJLA CUS/ACRL-NJ on social media, yet many are not currently doing so. If you want to get the latest updates, follow our Twitter and Facebook pages. Many of you responded that you are on Twitter and Facebook, so we decided to improve these pages which already exist instead of creating new ones on less-used platforms.

Happy Birthday to the Marketing and Communications Committee
By Mary Mallery
The NJLA CUS/ACRL-NJ Marketing and Communications Committee is five years old! To celebrate, the members of the Committee suggested that I write up a brief history to review how we started and what we are working on today.
When Trevor Dawes was NJLA CUS/ACRL-NJ President in 2010, he noticed that there were a lot of different venues for communication, such as a wiki and a website and a blog, but they were not kept current and they were not coordinated, so he tasked Denise O'Shea, the Chair of the Technology Committee, and myself, the Web Coordinator, to come up with a plan. We reached out to other members of the CUS Executive Board, and came up with a proposal for a new Marketing and Communications Committee with the mission "to expand the College and University Section (CUS)’s presence and influence, as well as enhance its image and credibility inside and outside the organization." The proposal was accepted in 2010, and so the Committee began its work.

The Marketing Committee members are representatives of CUS Committees responsible for communication and member outreach: the Newsletter Committee, the Membership Committee, the Website Coordinator, the Technology Committee; and it is also open to any NJLA and ACRL member who has an interest in serving.
What’s All the Fuss about the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education?
By Megan Dempsey and Heather Dalal
At ALA Midwinter, the ACRL Executive Board approved the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education as a new information literacy document for the profession. The Framework is intended to evolve the profession’s thinking on IL and help librarians develop programs and promote IL discussions at their institutions. It’s been in the works for over a year and there has been a lot of buzz about it among information literacy librarians in the past few months. Here’s an attempt to summarize what’s been going on.
Rowan University Libraries to Engage in Remote User Testing Study
By Aileen Bachant
This spring, Rowan University Libraries will evaluate the accessibility of online Library resources through a remote user testing study. The three-part study, proposed by the Rowan University Libraries Website Committee in partnership with EBSCO Information Services, will inform decisions for the highly anticipated Libraries website redesign project, estimated to begin in the late fall of 2015. EBSCO is currently offering this service as a pilot project, and may offer this service to other customers in the future.
Creating LEGO ® Masterpieces at the Library
By Wendy Kosakoff and Jonathan Torres
In the fall of 2014 the Sidney Silverman Library at Bergen Community College began hosting LEGO® Thursdays. Billed as an opportunity for students to take a break from their work and have fun at the library, the initiative has quickly gained popularity. The library provides a large bucket of LEGO® in a comfortable, central location, and students quietly construct creative masterpieces.
The library’s LEGO® building station provides a stress-free environment for all ages. It gives students an outlet to express themselves creatively, work with their hands, take their minds off school work, share ideas, and indulge in friendly competitions.
What makes LEGO® Thursdays so popular? Since the beginning of the initiative, librarians Wendy Kosakoff and Jonathan Torres have continued to promote it in a variety of ways such as regular inclusion in the campus newsletter The Bergen Daily, poster signage, and student outreach events. The librarians have learned that many businesses have used LEGO® to improve employee productivity and encourage team building.
As the LEGO® building station continues to gain momentum with students, the Sidney Silverman Library plans to host its first LEGO® building competition at the end of the spring semester. Top contestants will receive great prizes, and creations will be proudly exhibited in the library display cases.
Wendy Kosakoff and Jonathan Torres are reference and instruction librarians at Bergen Community College.
From the Newsletter Archives
This twenty year-old throwback volume of the NJLA/ACRL Newsletter speaks volumes about how much the academic library world has changed, and stayed the same, since its publication in Spring 1995. Read as Rachel Gardner, then NJLA/ACRL President, warns librarians against becoming "custodians of a book warehouse" as the "information superhighway" passes them by. Reminisce about presentations at that year's conference in Atlantic City, and see what your colleagues were up to two whole decades ago!
Building Bridges, Fostering Engagement: The Rutgers Art Library Lego® Playing Station
By Megan Lotts
The Art Library Lego® Playing Station was installed in August of 2014 at the Rutgers University Art Library to stimulate creativity and innovation. Since Installation of the Art Library Lego® Playing Station the Art Librarian has documented over 400 images of models created at the table. The station has been the focal point of many events, contests, course assignments, and workshops including:
- “Create your own Lego® Character” coloring contest
- “Create your ideal Library out of Legos®” contest
- Lego® workshops with Rutgers University Library faculty and staff
- An assignment with a section of the SAS honors colloquium
- An information literacy workshop with Academic Coaches from the Rutgers Learning Centers
- A collaborative project with 100 freshmen from the Department of Landscape Architecture who experienced the Lego® Playing Station as a means to connect to their library liaison to learn more about the libraries
- A Rutgers Geek Week event
- A Block Party for the first annual NJ Makers Day events
The Art Library Lego® playing station has been a catalyst for building bridges and fostering engagement within the Rutgers communities. This station is also a place where individuals can come together to use hands-on activities to build critical thinking skills and have fun. 
But one of the most interesting parts of this project is coming into the Art Library every day to see what has transpired at the table. Some days it appears that a group of grubby young children have been let loose at the table and Legos® are strewn everywhere, including some on the floor. Other days the Art Librarian finds elaborate models that tell stories about the students, their lives, their imaginations, and their dreams.
To find out more about the Rutgers University Art Library Lego® Playing Station please view a short video Lego® Building Fosters Creativity on Rutgers Campus created by Cameron Bowman from Rutgers Today, read the article, "Lego® Play: Implementing a Culture of Creativity & Making in theAcademic Library," or contact Rutgers Art Librarian, Megan Lotts at megan.lotts@rutgers.edu.

In the Wild: On Being a New Academic Librarian
by Jennifer Hunter
Getting to be an academic librarian right out of library school is quite a coup. Yet despite all the preparation that one can get from classes like “Academic Librarianship,” nothing quite prepares you for those first few months on the job. If you’re lucky like I am, you’ll have amazing, generous co-workers who will show you the ropes. Still, a lot will be on you just to know what to do. Here are some of the things I learned in my first few months, and some tips to make your transition into being an academic librarian a smooth and successful one.
Learning the Logistical Ropes
Welcome to your new library! Now learn everything about it. While the overall function of libraries is fairly similar, most libraries have particularities that you’ll have to learn rather quickly. What are the policies and procedures? How do spills get cleaned up? Do librarians share in circulation responsibilities? How do the computers/printers/scanners/screen readers work? Who do you call when the printer breaks down? You’ll have endless technical questions about the logistics of the library. Just remember that it’s completely ok to ask. In fact, if you’re not asking, chances are the printer is still jammed.
